aman only to attend ‘them, but four oxen will require 
the assistance of a boy during four months in the year." 
"The prices for harness, gear, shoeing, and farriery, are 
based on the amount paid usually under the different 
heads. The ordinary keep for a pair of horses is 
charged at 6s. per week each for the summer months, 
and 7s. per week for the winter months (see Mr. Doble's 
method of feeding, 81). The usual method of feeding 
working-oxen is straw and roots in the winter, and Grass 
in the summer, with an occasional allowance of corn 
during the busy seasons, either pasturing or soiling. 
The following are the total expenses incurred in working 
a pair of horses, valued at 402. at three years old, for 
nine years, and selling them with a loss at that period ; 
also the expenses incurred in working three teams of 
oxen successively during the same time, and selling 
each team with a profit after three years’ work :—

The supply of Engish Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, 
was moderate this morning, which enabled factors to realise 
e same prices for it as on this day se’nnight, The inquiry 
for free foreign was exceedingly limited ; in bonded or fo.b. 
we did not hear of any transactions, Prices i n the Baltic 
markets are unaltered ; in Belgium they are declining, but in 
Holland there is some demand for the Rhine.—Barley and Peas

The arrivals of Corn SES all kinde, since Monday have been 
small; we observe no alteration in the value of Wheat, either 
En nglish or foreign. Some of the Dutch letters speak of a re- 
turn of the Potato disease in that country, but at present it 
fails to excite attention ; there was, however, some inquiry for

that it resulted in business.—Barley, Beans, and Peas, are
